The global home entertainment device market is set to grow at a CAGR (Compound annual growth rate) of over 6 % through the forecast period (2019-2029), according to a new Fact.MR report.
This increase in growth can be largely attributed to a growing demand for high quality, innovative, connected, and intelligent entertainment devices in home settings, which has come about with rise in standard of living, the proliferation of high net worth individuals and changes in consumer lifestyles.
Further, the frequent development of new, but related technologies and innovative products, coupled with a decline in the prices of home entertainment devices are also being considered as drivers of growth for the worldwide market.
While audio devices are the fastest-growing segment in home entertainment devices, with a CAGR of more than 7 %, video devices continue to hold a substantially larger volume in market share and are expected to continue their dominance through the forecast period, growing 1.8X.
